Re: [gnome-shell-ext] imports.misc.util throwing "Error: Requiring Shell, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Meta', version '3.0' not found"

I reported the bug upstream. Here's the link: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774758

I made a fork of your extension and only added the 'const Util =
imports.misc.util;' line to the prefs.js file. The error happened there too.

Could you do me a favor and test it on your machine please? This is the
link to the fork: https://github.com/vboufleur/twitchlive-extension

I just tested this import on my extension, on a fresh copy of Fedora
Workstation booted on my pen drive, and the error happened anyway. I
think this is a bug for upstream.

If this import works on your machine, could you give me your shell
version please?
